The company that makes it is Bush, known for their terrible quality products. Price is nice though.

That's incorrect. The *brand* is "Bush", and the brand is now owned by Argos. Bush existed way before Argos were even a twinkle in their founder's eye, back in 1932, making valve radio sets.

You may have heard of "rebranding", where one company makes a product for another company, and then sticks the other company's logo on the product; well I strongly suspect that is what Argos have commissioned for their Bush branded tablet - probably using some "Wun Hung Lo" Chinese factory.

The tablet is neither good nor bad in my eyes, as we haven't one to base a judgement on, yet.

Case in point, Asda's Polaroid TV's are infact Technika ... and who knows if they are the original manufacturers :)

Sky NowTV boxes are rebranded Roku LT's. And iirc isn't one of the PIPO 7" tablets a Sumvision Voyager 7"?

Staying more on topic, I wouldn't discount this Argos tablet too quickly. If it's at least the RK3066 Dual core, that's not too bad. That said, for £20 extra I'd buy the Hudl over the Argos/Bush tablet without a doubt.
